My singer girlfriend is super fierce

"Detective Chinatown" is a hit.

On the second day of its release, the single-day box office was 167 million yuan, and with a cumulative performance of 320 million yuan, it continued to sit firmly at the top of the "May Day" box office list.

Among the films released during the same period, "Detective Chinatown" also had the highest average attendance rate of more than 80%, indicating that this film still has great box office potential.

Cinemas are very realistic. They make money by sharing the box office. The golden viewing time of the "May Day" is so short. The box office results and reputation of two days are enough to verify many things.

Therefore, many cinemas have gradually reduced the scheduling of other movies and moved them to "Detective Chinatown".

In this case, on the third day of its release, the scheduling rate of "Detective Chinatown" reached more than 50%.

Now, some people can't sit still.

In general, when cinemas cut scheduling, they give priority to films of the same type, so "The Chase", which is also a suspense detective film, has been cut the most.

On the third day, the screening rate of "The Chaser" was less than 10%, and the predicted single-day box office was only more than 40 million yuan, which was lower than the first day. The situation was precarious.

......

A movie theater in a shopping mall in Beijing.

On the third day of the short holiday, there were still many viewers who came to watch the movie. During the waiting period, many people would cast their eyes on the promotional posters of various movies and comment on them.

Among them, the most popular one was the promotional poster of "Detective Chinatown" placed in a prominent position in the theater.

After all, the two leading actors, Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Qiang, are both actors with extremely high national popularity. In addition, this movie has been very popular recently, and many viewers came for it.

In the crowd, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a mask. He observed a group of audiences who should have just come out of the screening room of "Detective Chinatown". They were discussing the plot enthusiastically with an unsatisfied look on their faces, and then ran to take pictures with the posters in the hall. He snorted unconsciously.

This middle-aged man is Wang Yan, the director of the movie "The Pursuit" in disguise.

At this moment, he appeared here to watch "Detective Chinatown", or to "gather military intelligence".

The popularity of "Detective Chinatown" far exceeded the expectations of the "The Pursuit" crew, and the "pull-down publicity" prepared before was ineffective.

After all, the premise of pulling down is that your work must be better than others, but now in the eyes of the majority of netizens and even major movie accounts, "Detective Chinatown" is better than "The Pursuit" in terms of suspense and reasoning!

In this case, it would be a bit ridiculous for the weaker party to compare.

But Wang Yan would not admit this.

Because, this is not scientific!

He is a professional in making detective films, how could he lose to a rookie director who is just starting out and has no professional background in this area?

He still remembers the comments of a certain film critic on the movie "Detective Chinatown" that he saw on the Internet last night.

[This is a work with rigorous logic and detailed details that makes people's eyes shine. The movie not only has the opposition between yin and yang, good and evil, but also geniuses and clowns, comedy and suspense, and even Eastern metaphysics and Western reasoning, which seem to be opposite but actually integrated...]

This film review received more than 50,000 likes.

Wang Yan couldn't help but post a comment below criticizing the movie as "nonsense", and was chased by netizens and sprayed two floors.

"Nonsense, you are talking about yourself?"

"Do you also understand movies?"

"Which hospital released it?"

"At least the blogger's words are reasonable and well-founded. Those who come up and scold will be treated as trolls."

"Is the host a loser who is frustrated in love, failed in work, full of resentment and can only rant everywhere on the Internet?"

"If you can't understand this movie, I suggest you watch the next door "The Chase", the reasoning in that movie is more childish."

When he saw the last comment, Wang Yan broke his defense and broke two teacups hand-fired by masters of the Porcelain Capital.

I have been a director for more than ten years, but I don’t understand movies! ?

The reasoning of "The Chase" is even more childish! ?

Wang Yan felt that these film critics or audiences were either paid or drugged by Ye Zhiqiu.

It makes sense, right? Well, he wanted to see what was so good about this "Detective Chinatown".

"Detective Chinatown" had a lot of screenings, and soon it was the next one. Wang Yan followed the audience into the screening room.

After sitting down, he looked around and took a look at the surrounding situation.

It was noon now, which was not the peak time for watching movies, but it was estimated that the attendance rate of this show was still more than 70%.

Wang Yan felt a little envious. You know, the peak attendance rate of "The Chase" was only more than 70%, and this was on the first day...It's just a good marketing scam! Wang Yan cursed inwardly and turned his eyes to the big screen in front of him, while also secretly paying attention to the audience's reaction.

Whether a movie is well made or not, the audience's immediate feedback is the most real.

At the beginning of the movie, Qin Feng, a failed student of the police academy, went to Thailand to relax and went to his cousin Tang Ren, who was a third-rate detective there.

In the previous part of the plot, to be honest, there were not many bright spots in the character of Qin Feng, and it was mainly Tang Ren who created and magnified the laughs.

And Tang Ren, played by Wang Qiang, undoubtedly did this very well, and the audience in the theater laughed one after another.

Seeing this, director Wang Yan had to admit that this film did a good job in "comedy".

The character relied on exaggerated expressions and language, and the action of greeting three ways down to create laughs. In comedy movies, it is a very shallow and low-level funny method, but after all, the cheap trick is down-to-earth!

What's the point of a professional filmmaker like him sitting on a chair and sneering? The audience just buys it. At most, they will say "oops" in their hearts and laugh.

And to be honest, although this trick is useful, it is not so easy to use. It is important to grasp the degree. Otherwise, if you just go down the path of fart, shit and urine, the audience will also be disgusted.

The same plot design, performed by different actors, will have very different effects.

It can only be said that the "Tang Detective" crew made the right choice of actor Wang Qiang.

At this time, Wang Yan felt sour in his heart. He felt that it was just a good actor. What level of actor is Wang Qiang? Give him to me, I can do it too!

Continuing to look down, Qin Feng and Tang Ren were involved in the case. In order to prove their innocence, they began to seek evidence to solve the case on their own.

Up to this point, Wang Yan watched with wide eyes.

——This is his professional field, he is here to find fault!

However, he is destined to be disappointed.

The so-called detective film is a genre of film that uses logical reasoning as narrative content and main viewing interest. The core of the film is to use people's urgent desire to understand and interpret suspense and unknown things to attract the audience to continue watching.

Wang Yan desperately discovered that in the later plot, "Tang Detective" seemed to have done this very well.

Not only that, Ye Zhiqiu also seemed to have combined the mystery of the investigation with the entertainment effect of comedy, bringing an experience different from traditional suspense detective films.

Obviously, this attempt was successful.

At the end of the film, after the classic scene of Sinuo's weird smile appeared, the audience gasped, and even Wang Yan himself was severely shocked.

Then, the film ended, and the audience burst into a huge wave of voices.

In the crowd, Wang Yan's face under the mask was lonely and his heart was dead.
